CHICAGO, Nov. 18.—Four persons
■were killed and a score of others were
Injured by a aeries of gas explosions
that completely destroyed the plant of
the Pyle Electric Headlight Co., In
South Chicago today. The shocks of
the explosions were so severe that all
the buildings near the demolished plant
were badly damaged, windows were
shattered for blocks and persons walk
ing the streets were thrown from their
feet. Over pressue on tanks contain
ing gas Is believed to have caused the
accident. The dead:
Ralph Wells, supeintendent for the
Pyle Electric Headlight co.
Amos Watkins, assistant superin
tendent for same company.
George Muehl, draftsman, employed
by the People's Gas Light Company.
Thomas Jennlgs, employed by the
Pyle Electric Headlight Company.
The fatally injured:
Wm. M. Maloney, blown from third
floor of building body crushed.
Alfred Cox, Internally Injured.
Pedestrians Injured.
Many persons who were walking in
the street near the plant were hurt by
flying pieces of debris and were taken
to their homes In carriages before their
names could be learned.
All of the dead were hurled under
tons 0$ burning timber and hot brick
and Iron, making It impossible to re
move their bodies for hours after the
accident occurred. Firemen poured
water upon the portion of the building
In which the dead were thought to bo
burled. The flames were subdued suf
ficiently to permit of the four bodies
being removed from the debris.
The scene of the qxplosloji Is. the old
Hyde Park gas plant, which passed In
to the hands of the People’s Gaslight
nnd Coke company several years ago
with the consolidation of the gas Inter
ests In Chicago. Through lease the
big plant Is occupied partly by the
Pyle National Electric Headlight Co.,
which is largely engaged In supplying
Illumination for railroad coaches. This
llluminant Is forced into small retorts
which when attached under the floor
of a car will supply it with light for
months. In order to make this possi
ble the retorts are subjected to an ex
tremely high pressure.
Burst Without Warning.
It was such a tank that caused the
first explosion. Without warning of
nny kind It burst. Amid the debris
workmen were blown out of the struc
ture far Into the street about the build
ing. Before any one realized what had
happened retort after retort exploded
In such rapid succession that it was
almost impossible to distinguish the
detonations. There were nine such
explosions In all. which left the plant
in flames. Hard fighting on the part
of fully a hundred firemen finally sub-,
dued the flames.
The total loss caused by the acci
dent Is estimated at $75,000.

PROTESTED AGAINST
INNSBRUCK AFFAIR
Practically Entire Population of Rome
in Attendance Upon Monster Public
Demonstration.
ROME, Nov. 18.—An Impressive
meeting to protect against the Inns
bruck affair was held this evening at
the Qufrlno theatre. The stage was
decorated with the banners of Italian
cities that are still subject to Austria.
Among the notable people on the stage
were Bjornstjerne Bjornson and his
wife, whose appearance was greeted
with tremendous applause. The thea-
tre would accommodate only a small
part of the crowd that sought admit
tance.
All the speakers called upon the peo
ple of Rome to make a solemn and dig
nified protest, worthy of a civilized
people. Jealous of their rights, dgtfinst
the killing and mal-treatment of fellow
Italians whose only offense was that
they stood for their race in history, na.
tlonal Italy, and culture. The speeches
were frequently interrupted with
storms of applause, mingled with In
vectives against Austrians.
An order of the day, embodying the
opinions expressed by the speakers was
voted by acclamation and amidst cries
of "Long live Italy** and "Garibaldi for
ever.'*
After the meeting the crowd, as If In
obedience to a command, made a rush
for the Austrian embassy and consul
ate, situated in the piazza colottna. In
the center of Rome, to make a demon
stration there. The incident had been
anticipated by the authorities and pre
cautions had been taken accordingly.
At all the atreets opening into the
plaza police, carbineers, bersaglleri
and cavalry had been stationed and
these halted and turned back the mob
from the vicinity of the embassy.
Practically the whole population of
Rome, except the Socialists and Anar
chists, participated in the demonstra
tion.
XTLANTA, Ga., Nov. 18.—Attorney
General John C. Hart received from
Washington today the full text of the
decision of the supreme court of the
United States. In the case of Comptrol
ler General Wright against the Geor
gia Railroad and Banking Company,
for the collection of taxes on $1,500,000
worth of stock of the Western Railway
of Alabama owned by the Georgia
Railroad and Banking Company. The
supreme court reversed a decision of
the circuit court of appeals, the latter
having affirmed a decree of the circuit
court enjoining the comptroller general
of Georgia from collecting tax for the
year 1900.
While neither Attorney General Hart
or Comptroller General Wright, will
dlscusse the future In connection
with the case, or what action the state
will take to go beyond the five years
taxes for which this case was brought
It Is safe’ to say that at the proper
time Comptroller General Wright wll
make a demand upon the Georgia RaH
road and Banking Company for every
dollar due the state for taxes and in
terest on the $1,500,000 worth of stock
since v Jt was circulated in 1889.
Now that the supreme court has held
thaV the stock Is liable to taxation,
by the state, the comptroller general,
it is said Is of the opinion that taxes
are due on the stock from the date
of the Issue up to the present time.
With reference to the $1,500,01)0
worth of stock of the Western Railway
of Alabama, owned by the Central of
Georgia, It is said that the comptroller
general will at an early day make a
demand upon the Central of Georgia
for tax on it also.
He holds, so It Is said, that while
the stock Is In Now York In the pos
session of the Central Trust Company,
It Is theree only as collatrlal for a loan,
and that the ownership Is still In Geor
gia, and In consequence the stock Is
ns subject to tax as the stock of tho
Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany, nnd which Is being held by the
Louisville and Nashville and the At
lantic Coast Line.
If the Louisville and Nashville and
the Atlantic Coast Line, lessees of the
Georgia Railroad and Banking Com
pany, and the Central of Georgia are
made to hand over to the state taxes
and Interest on the $1,500,000 worth of
bonds owned by each for the full limit
of fourteen years, the state of Georgia
will be getting in about $300,600 from
these corporations.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Nov. 18.—
The first announcement was made to
day of a formal movement to. hold in
this city in 1915 a world’s fair to be
known as the Semi-Centennial Peace
Jubilee Exposition, commemorating
the end of the war between tho states.
It is learned that assurances of aid
from the government and the various
organizations has been secured. The
following announcement explaining
the nature of the exposition has been
made;
The Civil War.
From. 1861 to 1865 there was in
these United States the greatest civil
war the world has ever seen. Peace
between the states was established on
April 9, 1865. The year 1915 will be
semi-centennial anniversary of that
event. It Is customary to celebrate Im
portant periods In our history by hold
ing expositions which demonstrate the
progress that has been made. Great
expositions of this kind were held at
Chicago, In 1893 and at St. Louis In
1904, eleven years apart. Eleven yearn
more will bring us to 1015, tho year of
our semi-centennial peace anniversary.
"Chattanooga Is the geographical
center of the scenes of the civil war.
It was the modt strategical point and
is immediately surrounded by some or
the greatest battlefields of that war
Government Aid Probable.
"With the groat national Interest
thnt centers here, the United fi’ates
government would no doubt contribute
generously to such an exposition. It
has had for years In contemplation tho
erection of a peace memorial arch at
Chattanooga which Is to surpass any
thing of the kind in the world. This
could bo finished and dedicated in
1915.
"Therefore, let us have at Chatta
nooga In the year 1915 a semi-centen
nial peace Jubilee exposition to which

LEWIS. Del. Nov. 18.—The Assa-

schooner Thomas Winsmore, from
Brunswick for Philadelphia (before re
ported spoken with loss of sails, etc.)
arrived at Assateague, Va., last night
with Jlbboom. foretopmast and all bead
sails gene.
COLUMBUS, Ga., Ndv. 18.-The
Eagle and Phenlx Mills today brought
suit against the Muscogee Manufactur
ing Company for $30,000 damages and
also petitioned the superior court to
make the defendant company cease Its
alleged trespass upon the water rights
of the first named mills. Both plants
are on the Chattahoochee river and are
operated by water power, developed
'by a dam at the foot of the Eagle and
Phenlx property. The Eagle and Phe
nlx Mills own eighteen of the water
lots and the Muscogee Mills one lot,
and It Is claimed by the plaintiffs In
today's suit that the Muscogee Mills
are entitled to only one nineteenth of
the normal flow of the river. The river
has been very low during the past
few months, and the Eagle and Phenlx
Mills claim that the Muscogee Mills
used about one half the entire flow* of
'the river, with the result that various
departments of the Eagle and Ph&nix
Mills were compelled to work on short
time because of lack of power, thereby
entailing damage to that company es
timated at over $30,000. Attorneys
Coetchius and Chappell and Little and
Battle represent the complainants. The
ease has been set for a hearing as to
the injunction feature.

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—While bound
down Long Island sound on one of her
regular pasages between this city and
New London, Conn., the freight steam
er Mohawk, of the Central Vermont
railroad, took fire off Hortons Point,
L. I., and was burned to the waters
edge early todny.
He crew, except the watchman, was
rescued by a passing steamship and
taken to Fall River, Massachusetts. It
Is believed the Mohawk will be a total
loss and that llttlo. If any of her cargo
will be saved.
The Mohawk left New York last
evening with a full cargo of general
merchandise. Hhe had 22 persons on
board including two women. As the
steamer passed Hortons Point the
lighthouse keeper saw flames breaking
from the boat and a few minutes later
ie waa wrapped In flames.
Assistance at Hand.
Assistance was near at band In the
form of the Fall River line steamer!
Boston, which had closely followed the
Mohawk down the sound, and those on
board the burning steamer with the
one exception noted were soon taken
off. The flames passed beyond all con
trol, however, and she was abandon
ed to her fate.
A few moments after the Boston had
resumed her Interrupted voyage there
came the sound of a heavy explosion
and a mass of blazing debris accom
panied by a burst of flames shot up
from the center of the abandoned
freighter. When dawn came the steam-
'• r was lying fast on the bar off Hor
ton's Point and only a portion of her
upper works showed above the sur-
This gradually disappeared as
the fire ate its way into the hull of
the boat. A watchman who was on
duty when the flame* were discovered
failed to reach the Boston when she
stood by to give aastetanc* and it is
Diat he lost bis life.

new steamer,* having been built at

of an important new witness, anil the
finding during tho examination of
talesmen of another person believed to
be nn eye witness were the principals
of these Incidents.
The text of tho letter which Mr.
Levy received was given out today. It
was written in German und signed by
"L. Black." The writer claims to
have witnessed the struggle In tho cab
and says that ho saw Young turn the
revolver against his own breast and
fire.
"I saw with my own eyes on tho
morning of June 4 a man In tho CAb
with a pistol In his hand nnd a woman
was seated alongside of him.” says
tho writer. "I saw tho man raise the
pistol which was in his hand. I heard
the shot and I ran as fast as I could.
I. kept quiet until now because I
thought you hn<l other witnesses, but
for tho sake of the truth I must write
you this.
For Justice’s Sake.
"I am willing, should occasion de
mand It. nnd if you think It worth
while, to appear before Mr. Jerome
and yourself, and say that I raw the
man hold the pistol In Ms hand. I am
ready to take oath on this for tho sake
of Justice."

annual Yale-Hnrvard football game In
New Haven found the city In and about
Yale University completely In the
hands of the advance guard of the
mighty throng which tomorrow will
stream out to Yale field to see the
gridiron battle.
The city's streets adjacent to the
campus all the evening were In a

the latter particularly noticeable be
cause of their manner of wearing a
board band of crimson on their arms. I

Tesm's Hard Practice.
The team was given some hard sig
nal practice in the afternoon behind
closed gates when the new formations
were tried, and they seemed well fag
ged at the end. Then came the usual
dance around the bonflre which was
fed with discarded football clothes.
The players were sent to their rooms
for the night, several of them, how-
